Roland used to have a corn patch every summer in this spot. After he died I made it into a butterfly garden in his memory. This year it is coming along quite beautifully.
Grey seals have been breeding at Donna Nook on the Lincolnshire coast since the early 1970's. For much of the year the seals are at sea or hauled out on distant sandbanks but during the winter they come to breed on the Beach. Pups are born with white coats and suckle from their mother for about 2 to 3 weeks the mother then leaves the pup to fend for itself.
He was just too cute..
Hope you all had a good Thanksgiving :) I was down in Seattle with my family.. so you'll be seeing a lot of photos from there!
My dog was scanned and expected to have "at least 6 puppies". So today I was "delighted" to get 10. Yes T E N puppies.
Of course today - being Friday 13th - the dog also escaped at the last moment when I was distracted and gave birth to one of them in our garden - I found the first born puppy hanging through a chain-link fence about to drop 12ft onto concrete! Luckily the puppy was squeaking so loudly I found her before calamity struck. The whelping box, some towels and a pair of Marigolds sorted out the rest!
I've heard some strange barking and what sounds like a child screaming during the middle of the night. It turns out it was a fox! She had four little pups and I was able to get a close up of one today.
This proud mamma has been hanging out on the lock by the shop for a few days. Her pup is basically a fuzzy lump has needs near constant supervision.
I saw two loose neighborhood dogs (a problem in this neighborhood) sniffing at the den entrance. I banged on the window and shouted & they left.......was that the last straw for Mama Fox?
Sirius (Alpha Canis Majoris) is the brightest star in the night sky. Its apparent brightness is due to it being close (8.6 light years) and because it is 25x brighter than our sun. For thousands of years Sirius has been associated with either dogs or dog-like gods. Its closeness to the sun during northern hemisphere summers was historically thought to add additional heat (with the sun) to create the Dog-Days-of-Summer which adversely affects both dogs and men. The star, Sirius, marks the eye of the large hunting dog belonging to the mighty celestial hunter Orion and thus is often referred to as the Dog Star, even though its real translation is “the scorching one” or “the brilliant one”.
Sirius is a double star. Its much dimmer companion is a White Dwarf (the collapsed core of a star after its nuclear life is over). It is called “Sirius B” or “The Pup”. The Pup is smaller than the Earth in size, but its total mass is nearly equal to the mass of our sun. Its density is off the chart, a teaspoon of this star would weigh over 2,000 pounds on Earth. The Pups surface temperature is far hotter than our sun and even that of Sirius itself (remember no nuclear reactions are taking place in the Pup).
The Pup circles Sirius every 50 years and its orbit is strongly elliptical. Only during the part of the orbit that takes it away from Sirius do amateur astronomers have a chance to see the Pup. At other times it is just too close to bright Sirius to be seen. We are currently in luck. The Pup is now 12 arcseconds from Sirius and its distance will be growing over the next few years.
Do not be fooled by the Pup’s distance and brightness (magnitude 8.5), it is still very, very difficult to see. The problem is that Sirius is so bright that the Pup is lost in the glare. It is currently doable in telescopes of 100mm and above without having to resort to fancy tricks like occulting bars or special filters. But only if everything else is perfect. If the telescope has any tube currents, is not perfectly collimated, or is of inferior quality you will likely not see it. Even if your telescope is perfect you are still going to need a stable atmosphere. If Sirius appears to be changing colors or twinkling through your telescope, then don’t waste your time looking for the Pup. If Sirius is a rock-solid white point of light, then up the magnification and go for the Pup. It is not often I can find the Pup with my 155mm refractor; the atmosphere is rarely stable enough. On one exceptional night, about a year ago, I teased out the Pup with my 110mm refractor, but I have not yet seen it with my 85mm and 60mm refractors (but I have tried). I would be curious to hear if anyone has spotted the Pup in something less than a 100mm telescope. It should be possible.

Two sibs perch on a grassy log at Trout Lake, Yellowstone NP. This year, momma had three healthy pups, although one was constantly distracted and left behind. The wayward pup would peep loudly until momma came back and retrieved it!

PERSONAL FUN FACT: I was ecstatic to see this amazing lady in the 2023 "Crazy for Bratz Kidz Lot." Admittedly, my main reason for purchasing the $5 bin of 30 plus dolls was the Bratz. I had noted a number of enticing Bratz Kidz floating around the bottom of the blue plastic tub. In fact, I was so distracted by my large headed friends, that I hardly paid any mind at all to the Barbies who tagged along. Once my sister and I were at home, I came upon the exciting discovery of not just one Potty Training Pups Barbie, but TWO!!! That's right, the child who once owned the lot had the blonde AND African American variations!!! It's not something I experience all that often. As a kid myself, I usually bought only the African American version. Since Barbies weren't cheap at the store, it was a rarity for me to get both the blonde and AA versions. I am not sure if the bin came from siblings, or a kid who simply loved the Potty Training Pups dolls enough to want two. Since both gals were still sporting their original dresses, I'm leaning more towards siblings. That and of course the fact that there were duplicated pieces to "1st Edition" Bratz Cloe (suggesting there were once upon a time two Cloe dolls). I'm not sure why the previous owner(s) didn't play with this gorgeous Barbie doll. I adore her Adria/Desiree head mold. Mattel didn't use this sculpt much when I was a kid. Normally, the African American Barbies I bought in stores featured the beautiful Asha mold (sometimes the older Christie one). Since Barbie was so lightly played with (if at all), she cleaned up spectacularly!
